Former Detroit Lion linebacker Jarrad Davis in a better state of mind with the Jets

“I’m excited every day. When I wake up every day, I thank God for being able to come back out here,” Davis said. “I love this game.”

That’s where Davis’ mindset is. His love for football is evident. But that affection nearly crumbled after four disappointing seasons with the Detroit Lions. He finished with 305 total tackles, 10.5 sacks, 19 tackles for loss and one interception. And by his last season, his playing time dwindled to only four starts.

Jarrad Davis (with helmet on) says learning to balance football with the rest of his life has made him better and happier.
